MILITARY NOTES.
Personal Mention and Leaves from
Headquarters.

Second Lieutenant Jonn L. Barbour
Seventh Infantry, is relieved from duty
at Fort Laramie, Wyoming, and will pro
coed to Fort Mckinney, Wyoming, and
report for duty with his company.
Leave of absence for one month, tc
take effect when his services can be
spared by his post commander, with per
mission to apply for an extension of one
month, is granted First Lieutenant G. M
Truett, Twenty-frst Infantry, Fort Du
Chesne, Utah.
At the request of the commanding gen.
eral, Department of the Missouri, the
commanding officer, Fort d. A. Russell,
| Wyoming, will send Private John Low
EFT, troop B, Sixth cavalry, now in con-
finement at that post, charged with
desertion, in charge of a non-commis-
stoned officer and one private as guard to
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Fifty-five officers of the army on the ac-
tive and retired list died during 1886,
while only thirty-seven deaths were re-
corded in 1885.
The designations of officers from the
army were nine in 1856 and the same
number in 1885.
There was not single dismissal from
the army in 1886.
Burroughs have been granted for two
months to Private Edward Gunshen,
company D, Fifth Infantry, and Privates
William Bang and Lawrence Bendixion,
company K, Eleventh Infantry, and for
three months to Private William Barker,
company B. Third Infantry.
The new regulation just issued by the
Secretary of War requiring that regi-
mental staff details be made only for a
term of four years appears to meet with
general approval among the officers
stationed here. There are, as a matter
of course, some objections made to it by
some as to the advisability of these
changes among the regimental staff, but
these views seem to be held only by
minority and the older officers. The order
will have the effect of relieving thirty
four first lieutenants from such duty at
once, and number will be relieved dur
ing the year, as their four years term ex-

were seen on the stage previous to the

and expressed themselves as fully rested
after their long journey from Butte, and
prepared to give one of their best per-
formances to-day. Emma Abbott stated
that during her nine years on the
lyric stage she had never disap-
pointed an audience before last night,
and the reports that there were five en-
gines employed to bring the company
from Butte to Ogden, every one of which
in one way or another were disabled.
Neither money nor labor was spared to
make the date" but fate was against
it, and the night was lost.
All of the other performances will be
given precisely as advertised, and the
entire company are anxious to atone for
last nights unavoidable delay.

BUSINESS AND MINING.
A Chance for Salt Lake SmelterS-
General Notes of Interest.

The Wood River Times of late date
asks, "Where shall our ores be sold p
and then goes on to say: at looks to us
as if we would have to again look to Den
yer and Omaha for a market for our ores
When the annual contracts with the lead
ing mines here expired by limitation, last
December and January, and the Omaha
and Denver smelters announced that
they would not renew on the old basis, il
was thought that, with the Interstate
Commerce law in force, the nearer smelt-
ing works of Ketchum, Salt Lake. Port
land, Reno and San Francisco would at
once come into this market and eagerly
avail themselves of the opportunity to
secure our ores But the reverse has
been the case; for while the managers OF
the smelling works at the points above
mentioned have all seemed anxious to
buy our ores, as is evinced by their nu-
merous letters of inquiry, none of them
seem willing or able to give basis of
rates upon which bargain could be
concluded between buyer and seller, be-
tween the ore producers and the agents
of the smelters, although some are will
ing to close upon the very indefinite basis
of fraction below the "ruling" Omaha
rates, which are subject to frequent
change.
1t may be that this uncertainty is due
to the ignorance in which all parties con-
cerned seem to be in regard to the effect
that the Interstate Commerce law will
have upon rates to this point, and es-
pecially upon he rates upon bullion from
the smelling works to the refneries.
But, whatever the cause, the result is the
same to us, and that is, that there are
practically no buyers for our ores here at
present.
If other buyers do not come soon, or,
say, by the first of April, the date upon
which .he Interstate Commerce law will
60 into effect, or ore-producers will be
compelled to ship to Denver or Omaha,
as of yore, as better rates and quicker re-
turns can thus be obtained than by sell
ing elsewhere.
Mining matters at Bingham are re-
ported as Cooking up' and with the
opening of spring, the camp will witness
a general revival.
Baker City, Oregon, is shipping ore to
Salt Lake.
